there was — for that Mr Vaughan is no idiot
I am sure — But an idiot must that man be,
& surely the most unprecedented of idiots, who should
have expected advice to have its effect, if the person
giving it appeared in any other character than that
of a well-wisher to those to whom he gave it.

I can tell you more, Sir — Mr Vaughan not only
appeared to be, but was & is still, I am well assured,
a well wisher to France. I wish it were in my power
to be as much of a well wisher to France as I believe
him to be. It is impossible Mr Vaughan should
not be a well wisher to France. He is a well wisher,
he is a friend, & a more zealous & active one, perhaps,
scarce breathes, to all mankind. He is a well
wisher to France, as Christ has commanded him
to be, & has Christ in his place would have been, a
well wisher and a benefactor to the denier of his
name. The question I presume is — not whether
he was a well wisher to France, but whether he was
any other than a well wisher to his own Country: &
in order to prove him so, an ill wisher to a country
must be defined to be — one who braves all personal
considerations in his zeal to save it
.
